Darrell Wayne 'Tricky' Trindall (born 16 February 1972) is an Australian former rugby league footballer who played in the 1990s and 2000s.
Background[edit]
Trindall was born in Narrabri, New South Wales, Australia.
Career[edit]
He played for the South Sydney Rabbitohs for ten seasons between 1990-1999, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs for two seasons between 2001-2002, Sheffield Eagles in 1994 and St Helens in 2000 as a half-back, five-eighth and fullback. He rose through the ranks to become club captain at South Sydney Rabbitohs in 1997-98. He scored 328 points and played 150 first grade games with the Rabbitohs before finishing his NRL career at the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.[2]
He played for the Australian Aboriginal team at the 1992 Pacific Cup, being named in the team of the tournament.[3]
In 2003, Trindall played for one season in the Intrust Super Premiership NSW for Newtown.[4]
Personal life[edit]
In August 2002, Trindall was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and high-range drink driving after an alleged assault in the Bulldogs club car park, which left a 36-year-old woman in hospital with head injuries.[5]
In August 2003, Trindall pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting a long time friend at a pub in Sydney's CBD. Trindall allegedly punched the woman in the face three times and held her in a headlock four times. He then said "I'm a first grade footballer. Who are they going to believe, you or me?". Trindall later received a 12 month suspended jail sentence for the attack.[6]
In April 2012, Trindall pleaded not guilty to assaulting a police officer in January 2012. The assault allegedly took place in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.[7]
In 2020, Trindall was remanded on charges of common assault, stalking or intimidating in a domestic violence context, and two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm.[8]
